Information

Brand New with Warranty. We are an authorized Fano dealer!

One “FanoBird” to rule the roost. Our very own Jim Smith purchased the first one of these that we had come through the door. Fano absolutely knocked it out of the park with the pickups, design and feel of the JM4. The tones are thick and delicious through the lows and mids and carry an air of sophistication on the top end. The result is full-bodied punch and clarity regardless of register. Dial in the perfect “bite” with the tone knob. The bass sounds killer through a PA and in-ears alike.

These are handbuilt in the USA with a nitrocellulose lacquer body and neck. One builder from start to finish. We can’t speak highly enough of the relic’ing Fano is doing on their medium distress option. It really lends not just to the appearance of the instrument but also to the feel, with the finish broken in and worn smooth in all the places you’d expect after having an instrument on the road year after year.

 

How Does It Play?

With a straight neck and nicely-dressed frets, you're going to love the feel of this one. We have it setup with string action measuring just a hair over 4/64" on the low E at the 12th fret and right at 4/64" on the high E, without any buzz. The worn finish on the back of the neck feels just right from the moment you first pick it up until you (finally) put it down. You won’t have any trouble feeling at home with this one for a four-hour gig.

The Fano Custom padded gigbag is included.
